NSDateFormatter locale is not working - ios

Question

I am using the following code to get the NSString from date
NSDateFormatter *df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
df.dateStyle = kCFDateFormatterLongStyle;
df.timeStyle = kCFDateFormatterNoStyle;
df.doesRelativeDateFormatting = YES;
[df setLocale:[NSLocale currentLocale]];
[df setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone systemTimeZone]];
NSString *dateString=[df stringFromDate:myDate];
But it displaying like 'Today','Yesterday' even after changing Locale.I want to display the localized language of that also ?

Answer 1

I used your code and created this:
NSDate *yesterday;
NSTimeInterval interval;
NSCalendar *cal = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
[cal rangeOfUnit:NSDayCalendarUnit
startDate:&yesterday
interval:&interval
forDate:[NSDate date]];
yesterday = [yesterday dateByAddingTimeInterval:-interval];
NSDateFormatter *df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
df.dateStyle = kCFDateFormatterLongStyle;
df.timeStyle = kCFDateFormatterNoStyle;
df.doesRelativeDateFormatting = YES;
[#[[NSLocale localeWithLocaleIdentifier:#"de_DE"], [NSLocale localeWithLocaleIdentifier:#"es_ES"],[NSLocale localeWithLocaleIdentifier:#"en_US"]] enumerateObjectsUsingBlock:^(NSLocale *locale, NSUInteger idx, BOOL *stop) {
[df setLocale:locale];
[df setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone systemTimeZone]];
NSString *dateString=[df stringFromDate:yesterday];
NSLog(#"%#", dateString);
}];
It outputs correctly
Gestern
ayer
Yesterday
Your problem must lay else-where.
Tested within a command-line program
Make sure that after you changed the language on device/simulator you kill the app completely before you open it again.

Hi I write this Function for LocalTime it Takes input of date as String and covert to Local Time String. May it help you
+(NSString*)LocalTimeWitheDateString:(NSString*)dateString{
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
NSTimeZone *timeZone = [NSTimeZone timeZoneForSecondsFromGMT:0];
[formatter setTimeZone:timeZone];
[formatter setDateFormat:#"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"];
NSDate *date =[formatter dateFromString:dateString];
NSTimeZone *localTimeZone = [NSTimeZone localTimeZone];
[formatter setTimeZone:localTimeZone];
NSString *LnewTimeZoneDateString = [formatter stringFromDate:date];
return LnewTimeZoneDateString;
}
